It was introduced to me from a Mr. Toddsnails. Since my introduction to this DIY silencer my sump has been free of bubbling or splashing noises.

It is a Durso standpipe that is used upside down and installed directly above the sump to quiet the bubbling and splashing noise caused by water entering the sump. The concept is to allow the air to escape prior to the water entering the sump allowing for a smooth and quiet exit.
